Cant find anyone face to face cash on Local BTC, where else can one look, all the people insisted to keep things digital, I understand its a digital currency but I miss the BTC meetups and need to buy at a awkward time and can't find anyone local, surprisingly even being in this miny "Bitcoin City" Madeira Beach, St.Pete Florida

If you know anyone please let me know

The Mycelium wallet also has a trading feature.

There is basically no buyers or sellers since I live in algeria and no one hear of BTC there :o Mycelium have a feature to buy and sell Bitcoin you can download it here : https://mycelium.com/bitcoinwallet (It's only for Mobile devices) and here to buy and sell https://mycelium.com/buyandsell (you can access that from the Application once you download it easily) . Anyone depends where do you live mate

Might be because people are worried about Florida laws on selling bitcoins since those two guys were arrested in Florida for selling bitcoins without a license.

Florida is a big fan of arresting people.

I suggest driving to a bigger city nearby.

I think it better you drive to bigger city, i think you can find some one from localbitcoins, but for cash, doubtfull.. but try..

try to post in this section
maybe you can find what you want there

Look at the post before yours.

because of no license or because the buyer said he would use to buy drugs on SR?

I don't think people would specially go about getting licensed for selling bitcoins in say a one time deal .
However it might be essential for people who sell through localbitcoins.

Maybe you could register on btc-e or bitstamp and buy there.

Make a thread and ask on the Currency Exchange here. Might be a bit of a longshot. Have you tried local ads or gum tree as well? Make sure you don't get robbed, though lol.

Maybe it's worth trying one of the apps that integrate with Facebook and see if someone nearby is selling BTC. I think http://www.quickcoin.co/ does that.

Sunny place for shady people, I must agree.

Should not be ANY different than selling "property" on Craigslist. aka selling my Xbox for $299!

because they are all getting arrested like Burt W

Love it when idiots keep speculating BurtW's arrest. Without any info, yet they claimed he got arrested for selling bitcoins!

These idiots are exactly the one who assume law from hearsay rather than knowing the law itself.


Media did a great job again..... showing how dumb general public is.

Are you from Florida?  I take it you understand FL law?  Under what statutes was he charged?

No need to speculate. The charges are in the indictment. Two are for selling bitcoins without a license and one is for money laundering.


Not Florida -- Colorado.

No, there is no money laundering charge.  It is for selling Bitcoins, on Localbitcoins.com, in Colorado, without a license.

So far defending myself has cost our family almost $200,000  

We can use all the help we can get, please see the fundraising web site put up by my wife Jean:

If you are still searching for a meetup in your city: http://www.meetup.com/Bitcoin-of-South-Florida/

The meetups are scheduled from time to time as one is on March 26th and the next on April 2nd.

Also if you have already found what you need, you can lock this thread.

mmm florid  :-\ .... u might need to relocate

There is nothing special about Florida except it was done first.  After Florida then came Colorado, your state could be next.
